Stockings for Kids

You may have noticed a new button in the bottom right hand column of my blog.It's promoting a Stockings for Kids drive, similar to my local quilt guild's Santa Sock project.The stockings are handmade and donated, then filled with small Christmas gifts for children.Lyanna at Purple Panda Quilts is spearheading the drive to collect 50 stockings, approximately 11" x 17", before December 1, 2011.

Those who donate a stocking by December 1, 2011, and post a photo to the Purple Panda Quilts Flickr Group will be eligible for some great prizes, including a $50.00 gift certificate from The Fat Quarter Shop, an incredible online fabric store.

I have my pattern printed, but it may be after Halloween before I get mine finished and posted.Things are still a little batty here, even with the long weekend (for which I am VERY grateful!).But when (not if) my stocking is finished, you, my loyal readers, will be among the first to know.

About Me

Welcome to Ponderings -- where my musings meet cyberspace.
I’m a fabric fanatic, Etsy entrepreneur, legal assistant, free-lance legal researcher, seasonal tax professional, empty-nester and grandma.
In 2011, I opened Pasque Flower Creations, my Etsy shop, featuring fun and functional handcrafted fabric items. http://www.etsy.com/shop/pasqueflower.
Why pasque flower? I was born and raised in South Dakota, and the pasque is the SD state flower. It’s one of the first flowers to appear in Spring, my favorite season, and it’s purple, my favorite color. And it’s stubborn and hardy, defying snow and the last gasps of Winter to break out and bloom.
I now live in Lincoln, NE with my retired librarian hubby. My children and grandchildren are the joys of my life and inspire my colorful and sometimes whimsical use of fabrics.
